    I love old cab overs, but you never see them out and about anymore since people are scared to drive them now. Personally I remember driving one of my dad's old ones and LOVED it. Post some pictures

    where do you get the people are afraid to drive them from.I have a cabover and run all over the united states and Canada with mine. I missed 3 loads to Alaska last year only because I was too far down on the board they were offered to me I said yes but the guys ahead of me got them

    Agreed ... with Spacetrucker88, I spend nearly all of my time driving COE's never bothered me a bit did not feel any more or less unsafe than driving anything else. Don't drive one anymore as most places "including my present gig" don't have any in the fleet :biggrin_25513:

    Super liner thank you I see you are a Mack man. I started with a 1967 F model Mack 250 mack engine and a tri plex transmission Ithink the rears were 4.17 but I might be wrong 10.00 20 tires on dayton wheels and mack camelback suspension I could not make that thing go nohow.

    I started my trucking career in one just like this one, except it was bright yellow instead of white. Sure wish I would have taken a few pics of mine back then. Being a spring ride, single axle tractor, it sure was one rough riding SOB...

    No. This was a 9670. The 9370's were conventionals.

    My first tractor I learned to drive was a White cab over, also I rebuilt a K100 and drove it for some time hauling steel in the off season.
